Firms are using smart materials to build the most sustainable commercial buildings in Germany
The shift towards the development of more sustainable and energy-efficient buildings is expected to accelerate in 2023. This will lead to the adoption of more smart construction materials in Germany going forward.
• In September 2022, UNStudio, the Dutch architectural firm, revealed its design proposal for NION, a commercial building located in Frankfurt, Germany. The project is slated to become the most sustainable office building. The commercial project will be integrated with innovative technology leading to saved resources and will be shaped with forward-thinking architectural concepts.
• Alongside the usage of prefabricated components, the building will also use sustainable, recyclable, and circular construction materials. Notably, the commercial building will respond to weather and actual demand in an intelligent manner, which will further its boost the sustainability of the construction project.
From the short to medium-term perspective, ConsTrack360 expects more such sustainable construction projects to be launched in Germany, thereby driving the adoption of smart construction materials. This will keep aiding the growth of the market over the next five years in Germany.
The innovative startup landscape is expected to aid the smart materials market in the United Kingdom
Amid the growing shift towards sustainable construction practices, many startups have entered the United Kingdom construction smart materials space over the last few years. From Material Evolution to Mimicrete, startups are innovating in the space and launching products such as self-healing concrete. Many more innovative startups are expected to enter the market over the next five years, and will also attract funding from the government and private sector.
• In June 2022, Mimicrete, the materials technology startup, announced that the firm had received £450,000 in funding from the Innovate UK Smart Grant. Along with government funding, the startup is also backed by venture capital firms such as Vest Coast Capital and Leonas Capital.
• With this funding, Mimicrete is well-positioned to drive its research and development plans. Furthermore, the funding will also assist the firm to speed up its commercialization plans. In June 2022, the company announced the launch of its first commercial pilot program in partnership with JP Concrete. The project with JP Concrete is focused on advancing the development of Mimicrete's self-healing concrete product.
As more innovation takes place in the United Kingdom's smart materials space, ConsTrack360 expects more venture capital and private equity funding to enter the market over the next three to four years. This will keep aiding the industry growth in the smart material space from the short to medium-term perspective.
